PPID and laminitis risk

4/17/2018

0 Comments

 
Do all horses with PPID have an increased risk of laminitis?

No.  The laminitis associated with PPID is endocrine laminitis, due to insulin dysregulation (insulin resistance and/or hyperinsulinaemia).  Horses with PPID may or may not have insulin dysregulation (ID).  If they do not have ID, their laminitis risk is considered to be normal.

​Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction does not necessarily impair insulin sensitivity in old horses
Domest Anim Endocrinol. 2015 Jan;50:14-25. doi: 10.1016/j.domaniend.2014.07.003. Epub 2014 Aug 1
"The results from this study provide evidence that PPID is not always associated with impairments in insulin sensitivity."
